Slicin' and Dicin' into the summer

[jJjburton]

We've tried everything, adding, subtracting, you name it. The last thing I wanted to do was take sleeping meds, honestly, I was so hesitant. But, I feel like I am physically decaying from the overall lack of sleep. Not to mention the mental and emotional destruction it causes. My face and body hurt daily from being so tired... And, unfortunately, in my line of work, I need to be alert and awake while working. So, I need a solution.

Lol its most likely the steroids. Many of them will cause that. Once you stop I would think sleep would get better. no? But going to stay subbed in for this. Goodluck.

THIS WAS NOT A WISE CRACKED COMMENT!!!, Like you said no more drama in here.

I hope the syn is working for ya.

I typed this before I read hole thread. I honestly like even though you had it for years. The gear is not helping. This is like my gyno. I had it before gear, but being on gear is defintaly not helping.

OGH, this is something that has plagued me, cyclically, for YEARS before any AAS usage, ever since I was a kid. Also, it just came back up about 3 months ago. So, how would it be the gear if I've been more or less on gear for years? It's just not looking to be correlated. I have gone through this many, many times in my life ever since I was a little young one... So, it's something else.

Same here , bad sleep since I was a kid . PTSD . But the gear sure makes it worse ...

Brother, I've been going to the doc for months figuring it out. I've been to a GP, therapist and a psychiatrist. We're trying everything we can.... Next up is a sleep study, if this Lunesta stops working.... It's a nightmare.

What's odd is, there is not underlying stress issues. Work is good, my personal life is good.... So that's not causing it, it's something else. I'll just lay in bed and think, toss and turn. Not even think about negative stuff, or have anxiety, my brain just races....

Welcome to my world. You wanna know what it is? ADD/anxiety. I can be so tired. But the second I lay down- I run through fifteen thousand workout splits I could run, where I'll be in life, how life is now, what puppies I like, my favorite food to eat, what I could do tomorrow, what I should of done yesterday.. you get the point. It's very rare for me to get 6 hours of sleep. It's very very rare for me to get 6 hours straight of sleep. For example. Last night I went to bed and fell asleep in 15 minutes!! But woke up in an hour and then went over every possible situation in life and whatnot for another hour. Then fell asleep...then I woke up again! Repeat. Boom. Alarm goes off it's 5:55 time to get up.

Going to get some xanax from the doc. Another doctor and I talked at my last appointment and was going to prescribe it. She wasn't my normal doctor though so she said when she gets back to go get it.

I'd like to chime in and just say many people smoke a little weed as their "sleep medication". I'm sure some other gents on here are more versed in it than I am but have you tried that?

Another vote for using marijuana to aid sleep. If you do try, I'd recommend using edible concentrates. My go to and favorite is RSO. I take a dose that equals the size of 2 rice grains around 5pm. I start feeling it 30 mins later. By 9pm, I sedated enough to fall asleep with eases and only wake up couple times at night and easily fall back asleep.

Don't take too close to bedtime otherwise you may have a groggy hangover. Let me know if you want to try.

I love reading your logs when I am producing my own log(s) lol. I get more reading done while on the shitter

 

[Sk8man101]

It has always taken me forever to fall asleep.
Man I couldn't imagine going months on like 4 hours a night that's straight up suffering.

 

[Wunderpus]

LOL, I've tried smoking and eating weed, nothing in terms of sleep. Xanax didn't do SHIT for me, either, just made me feel fucked up. Lunesta is the first thing that has "worked" in a while.

Gotta get the right marijuana my brother. Different strains do different things.

But if Lunesta is working stick with it. Only problem i have with pills is I always adjust to the dosage and have to take more.

Youve done all the sleep studies looking for sleep apnea and disturbed sleep cycles ?
Im positive for both , sleep apnea and inconsistent sleep cycles , double-fucked plus the enlarged prostate wakes me up to urinate 5-8x a night on cycle, triple fucked....

 

[jaymaximus]

WP, sleep apnea could be it too. Ive always had it, but since I started cycling it got much worse. All that extra weight. Got a sleep study and a bipap last year.

 

[gr8whitetrukker]

Whiskey
Always puts me to sleep
Take 3 doubles and wait 30 minutes
Thats 6 beers in 30 minutes
It works

I sympathize with you OGH. Except for the prostate I know how you feel. What I'd give for a full nights sleep!

 

[Wunderpus]

I haven't done a sleep study yet, I literally cannot fall asleep, that's not apnea.... i will do a sleep study when I have the time.... for now, medication is a necessary bandaid :/

Sounds like you have a hardtime shutting down , you need a sleep study , but you gotta be off the juice for a while to get an accurate accessment . Yours might be treatable....
Goodluck WP.

Aint that the truth ...been framing the last 2 weeks , falling asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

 

[jJjburton]

wow I stopped anadrol, and slept for 3 hr periods for almost 9 hrs. I have been sleeping 3 hrs a day since I have work then take a nap after. It was amazing

 

[Wunderpus]

You would think... But, training and working all day doesn't shut my brain off. I am physically exhausted, this is entirely a mental issue.

Then lets do advanced mathematics
Or
Recite the long form DNA molecule chain in the human body
Then put it to memory
Oughta bore you enough to sleep
Or watch basketball. Same difference
